SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS

The longest (7 km) and probably most difficult track of the calendar, Spa represents a challenge for both drivers and teams due to his fast, hilly and twisty nature.
Engineering the perfect car for such a layout means finding the right balance between top speed, needed on the long Kemmel straight, and downforce, vital to be quick through the famed Eau Rouge-Raidillon compression and cope with fast corners as Pouhon and Blanchimont.
Weather can also add odds: rain is a common sight in the Ardennes and the track is so long that conditions change a lot from spot to spot. In those treacherous conditions the Lamborghini 4WD system is a fundamental help.

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Lamborghini has already confirmed that the Sesto Elemento will indeed be headed to the production line, albeit in a very limited run. With such a minute number being produced, anyone would be hard-pressed to get know when Lamborghini is even actively selling it, let alone be able to grab hold of one of those units. The task of purchasing an Elemento got even harder as a high-end dealership in La Jolla, just north of San Diego, confirmed that Lamborghini was already accepting orders for the car and that only three units were headed over to the United States. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will be offered at a princely sum and rumors suggest that payment will be taken Reventon-style, which means three equal payments of $300,000 or higher with the remainder being paid at the end of the deal. That kind of price tag will bring its owner a 570 HP V10 engine and a power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75 kilograms per HP. This allows the Sesto Elemento to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a sensational 2...
